As well, it was a challenge to weave back and forth from Barbour's wild poetry to Duncan's detailed translations.
Though readers may tire of the endless chilling battle scenes, the evolution of Robert to King, with the brave and loyal
support of James Douglas as they together move forward toward the Freedom of Scotland is incredibly inspiring.
